THE DOMINION.
AM Incorrect Report CORRECTED.

MONTREAL, Jan. 9.-The scare raised in
connection with gla1ders among Canadian
horses which had resulted in an order being
issued by b. b. Smalley, Collector of Customs
prohibiting the importation Of horses into
Vermont, has been traced to letter written
by the health office here several days ago
which was published in several papers. DR..
Laberge today wrote to the chairman of the
health committee emphatically contradicting
the former report. The report has done a
great deal of harm. Mr.. Tuner, Deputy
Collector of Customs here, telegraphed Col
lector Smalley asking if the order was limit
ed to Vermont, kand received reply saying
that it extended to the whole Of the United
States

H GROS yENTRE TREATY.

The commission which recently visited
the TT. Belknap Indian agency, succeeded
in making a treaty with the Indians at that
agency, which is as follows:
In consideration Of the payment by the
United States each year for ten years of
$4,000, the Indians agree to r%elinquish
all of their reservation, with the exception
of a small portion in the eastern part of
their reservation, and bounded as follows:
Beginning at the mouth of Snake creek
and running southwesterly to the west side
of the Little Rockies; thence east over the
summit of the same to the head Of Beaver
creek: thence north to the mouth OF Peo-
pies creek; thence following the Milk
river tothe point Of beginning. This sec
ton will lave an area of about seven hun
dred square miles. The payment is not to
be made in cash. but to consist of mer-
ehandise, cattle, horses, etc. The Indians
ara reported to be well provided for at
their agency. but without a single exeep-
ton seemed well pleased with the pros
peet Of removal to new quarters.

THE PROPOSED NEW COUNTY.

Referring to the proposed new county,
with Great Falls as the county seat, we
will state that there is not and never has
been a disposition IN the part OF the petl-
toner to encroachI upon that portion Of cho
teau and;Lewis.and Clarke counties, which
would naturally be required for the lorna
ton of a county, with Choteau as the 0
ty seat. The petition presented by the
citizens of Choteau and Lewis and Clarke
counties to sign, reads as follows:
The undersigned residents of the tow
of Great Falls and vicinity, respectfully
petition YOU to create a new county, com
prising that portion of Meagher county
living north of the Belt mountains, the
north east corner Of Lewis and Clarke, and
a portion of the south part OF Choteau
county, making a natural and compact
county boundary. 40 miles north and south
by so miles east and west, with the town
of Great Falls the proposed county seat.
near the center.
It will be seen that while the general
shape and area Of the county is set forth
in the petition, exact boundaries were left
to the members of the legislature from the
three counties interested namely, Meagher,
Lewis and Clarke, and Choteau, and this,
we think. under the circumstances, was
the proper thing to do. The voters resld-
ing within the proposed county have, with
the exception of Sun River, almost unani-
mously retitioned fer its creation by the
present legislature. The county is much
needed by the voters Of Montana who have
asked for it, and especially by all the set
tiers who reside in that portion OF Meagher
county this side of the Belt range OF
| mountains, and who are now compelled to
travel from $50 to 1T5 miles to reach their
present county seat, White Sulphur Springs
The formation Of the proposed county, will
in no way aztec the creation Of other coun-
| ties hereefter, as it lies, its entire length
| adjacent to the Belt mountains, and is
| bounded on the east by the new county of
| Fergus.
We venture the prediction that a peti-
ton more nearly unanimous was never
presented to the legislature Of Montana,
| than this which has recently gone for
ward.

THE collapse of the Great Falls No. 2
scheme, should be the means of teaching
eastarn investors a wholesome lesson,
This company endeavored to sail under
the favorable reputation which Great
Falls has established, and to carry the
batter still further, and beyond the pale
of all legitimacy, they named their en-
bryo town Great Falls. Their prospectus
was made up wholly of the advantages
which Great Falls legitimately claims,
but from which they were practically as
far removed, as though their proposed
town had been located in Canada. Their
scheme was destined at its inception to
speedy dissolution, and the only regret is,
that the men who aided AMI abetted this
swindle by lending their names and in
fuence, have had an ineffacible stain cast
upon their characters, perhaps through
ignorance. They certainly would not
have been willing parties to the nefarious
scheme.

not crowding American wheat out of the
English market when our exports of that
article to Great Britain during the past
year amounted to 100000 bushels,
against 100000 the previous year. The
Indian menace has been very greatly mag

ute its passage to the votes of members
entirely Ignorant of it's meaning and prob
able effects. The main feature of the
bill is the establishment Of a federal rail
road commission. The powers of this
body are very extensive and far reaching,
and the business laid upon it is stipend
uous, both in amount, and Importance
which its decisions may have upon the
welfare Of the people and the conduct of
railroad corporations. The restrictions
upon railroads are many and severe The
first provision is that all charges shall be
reasonable and just, and the contrary is
declared unlawful and prohibited. The
most important provision, in our
opinion, is that which prohibits
the pooling Of earnings Of several roads.
The bill further provides that all passenger
and freight tariffs shall be published and
kept posted in all stations, and that such
rates shall not be subject to advance ex-
cept under ten days public notice. There
are other provisions of a benefcefit ma
ture.
